stig mick Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I recently picked up a stock R32 intercooler very cheap it has a few bent fins and a dent on the front but no leaks I was going to install it on my R32 gtst basically to make it look a little more stock and not so obvious that the car has been modified so cops may not give me as much s##t for it I was speaking to my mechanic who does all my work quite cheap He recommended I buy an aftermarket cooler kit as it's going to be more expensive to install as the piping is harder to fit and he'll need to get a hold of some brackets for me Has anyone else installed a stock GTR intercooler on a gtst? Was it really that hard? Cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351157-gtr-intercooler/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVS JEZ Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Custom brackets and piping will be needed. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351157-gtr-intercooler/#findComment-5635886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Your mechanic is correct. A kit from someone like JJR or similar will be cheaper & easier to install... It will also perform about the same unless you have a 350rwkw+ setup.

bubba Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 If you get ALL of the GTR piping setup including all brackets, it does fit but you will still need custom pipework from compressor outlet to bulkhead fitting and from bulkhead fitting to throttle body.. unless you have a forward facing plenum then mucho easier to go with an aftermarket kit. I have fitted a GTR cooler/bov setup to my 32gtst using all factory GTR bits but I have a high mount turbo and custom plenum. Oh and GTR piping is like 3.25" Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351157-gtr-intercooler/#findComment-5635895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
